ESPN pulls Hank Williams Jr. after he compares Obama to Hitler‏

Of course comparing Bush to Hitler is OK
"Hank Williams Jr., the singer whose various videos for the hit song "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Monday Night" has served as the intro to "Monday Night Football" for 23 seasons, compared President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler during a Monday morning appearance on "Fox and Friends."

The statement led to ESPN pulling his popular intro segment, best known to fans for its "Are you ready for some football?" ending, for Monday night's game between the Indianapolis Colts and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

During a discussion on the 2012 presidential race, Williams began discussing Obama's golf outing with Speaker of the House John Boehner. He said it was a political mistake, on par with "Hitler playing golf with [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu."

ESPN released a statement expressing disappointment in Williams' comments. The network said the intro will be pulled for one game and any further decision will be based on how contrite the singer-songwriter is in the immediate future.

He was clearly just trying to think of two opposites.

This is yet another clear example of one of the Left's oldest and most effective tactics. Blame your enemies for doing and saying the very same things that you yourself have done and said. The weaker the people become, the more effective the tactic.

ESPN has always been leftist. They're just upset he might have compared bobo to Hitler. I am sure they would have no problem signing John Mellencamp, despite all the inflammatory crap he has spewed.
